Because if they care about the knobs…

You’ll always have to pay up front for knob feel.

True knob feel cannot be mass-produced or outsourced. Knob feel requires attention and care. There’s no recurring revenue to attract investment in knob feel.

Any thing made where the maker sweats the details - material texture, mechanism resistance, the shade of orange on the power button - it’s probably going to be a good thing. All those details add up.

Just don’t get lost in the weeds. You probably don’t need to care about every detail but many, many, many of them matter.

Take that corn hat off Melvin Just a little fun. I encountered the pig call/heavy metal mashup and wondered if falling contests had rules. They do. Of course.

Flip the internal narrative on loss I’m guilty of this for sure. I definitely think work in America is pretty messed up but, at the end of the day, I don’t control the decisions of my employer and being miffed about it isn’t solving anything.
